Office Lease -

 

EnerTeck leases office space under a non-cancelable operating lease. Future minimum rentals due under non-cancelable operating leases with an original maturity of at least one-year are approximately as follow:

 

2016     52,000  
2017     54,000  
2018     54,000  
2019     36,000  
Total   $ 196,000  

 

This lease provides for a rent-free period as well as increasing rental payments. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, rent expense for financial statement purposes is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. A deferred lease liability arises from the timing difference in the recognition of rent expense and the actual payment of rent.

 

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 totaled $49,615 and $51,305, respectively.

 

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred recurring net losses of $1,255,000 and $1,290,000, respectively. In addition, at December 31, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $32,359,000. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company's continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenues and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. Management concedes that sales revenues for 2015 and 2014 and for years prior have been considerably less than earlier anticipated primarily due to circumstances which are making a continued effort to correct. Tests which were expected to be run and completed during 2013 and 2014 were, for reasons beyond the company's control either delayed, rescheduled or in some cases gave inconclusive results, such as the PEx river test. Management expected that marine, railroad and trucking sales would show significant increases in 2015 over what has been generated in the past. That has not materialized, as of yet. Delays in the completion of long term client demonstrations for several extremely large new clients which were initially intended to be completed during 2014 have caused problems which have been very hard to overcome. The PEx technology testing and analysis, which appeared to be extremely successful, was not completed due to financial reversals on the part of the independent testing company. Conclusive testing of the PEx technology will have to be totally redone to prove the marketability of the product line. On the upside, testing is underway for several large new domestic clients of our principal domestic distributor, which look extremely promising to date. Other tests are however finally close to completion. While it remains to be seen if all will be successful, it is believed that the final results will be in our favor and that the company will show significant improvement over the next two years.

 

The Company has been able to generate working capital in the past through private placements and issuing promissory notes and believes that these avenues will remain available to the Company if additional financing is necessary. No assurance can be made that any of these efforts will be successful.
